    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Council tax going up by at least 5% just about everywhere. Can't blame the council for the bin men going on strike and then have a go at your council tax going up. If they gave everyone the rise they are after your council tax would go up even more. But I agree with the rest.

    I'm undecided on this. 15 when she left but an adult when it was all going on. Seemed to enjoy it until caught. So should be sentenced as an adult. But on the other side it is sending a strong message that if you get involved in terrorism abroad you can say goodbye to the UK for good. No...

    Keep him on the pitch.....until he gets sent off. He gives it a lot of effort but he isn't that good. Wouldn't even make our bench.

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Sunderland Match Thread - Saturday 25th Feb

    2-0 to us. No recognised striker. Several players are slow compared to ours. And we have Gyokeres back on form as well as our defence. If we get an early goal it could end up a rout.

    You have already been told about the house prices outside the towns and cities. Paris is at least as expensive as London. Most cities are expensive. Then nearly the whole South Coast is also very expensive. But most young French people don't want to live in rural locations so the demand is much...

    Not depressing for us. It is why I can finally join my wife and kids next month. Couldn't afford to retire at my age in the UK. The house we're presently buying is stunning. It is our forever home. Even has a bedroom and bathroom downstairs for when we get old. One of the rooms downstairs is...

    Me pathetic? OK you win. I voted to leave when I wanted to move to an EU country. Corbyn would have made a brilliant PM. It isn't the far left that keeps the Tories in and I always vote Tory. Satisfied now? Have fun

    Point out any time the same old people don't gang up and attack anyone who dares to say anything different to what is allowed to be said freely? Just like right now.

    Other than a slight wobble for a week or so when you were all on the total attack and seeing nothing but lies on here at the same time as when the fraudulent things from the EU were being exposed no. Just like I have only ever voted Labour but couldn't bring myself to vote last time because...

    We're still heavily involved with each other. It is trade and freedom of movement that has suffered the most. I think that if we had freedom of movement again more people would leave than come here, and millions more would be coming.

    Where did you get that from? I always planned on living in France when I retired. Why would I have stopped what I wanted to do since I was 17? The problem that you and several others have with me is I always look at all options/opinions even when my mind is made up 100%. You're not supposed...

    My guess would be most Tory voters would vote leave. Then the Labour voters would be split. That would hand it to the Tories. How about those who voted leave because of the millions who came to the UK to live? Labour didn't build houses last time. They actually speeded up the right to buy as...

    I'm talking about Labour voters. The problem we usually have with Labour is there are two sides to the party. Those that are so left they nearly fall off the edge. They never listen to anything except their ideals. They will never get voted in as those from the middle all the way to the right...

    We will be. Minimum school holidays are 2 weeks in France. Motorhome will always be packed and ready to go. My 21 year old daughter is already looking at buying a house with her boyfriend. They have a budget of €60,000. That will get them a 3 bed detached house in a nice area.

    I know of people living in an EU country or were planning to move to one who voted leave thinking it wouldn't make any difference to them. Some even did it as they didn't want more from the UK moving in.

    What the Tories say and what the public think are not the same. Years of having the UK fucked up by the Tories could mean Labour voters expect a quick turnaround. Look at those saying Starmer isn't the one although there isn't a line of people better. We will have those same ones who are...

    Better than having the Tories making it worse each year. I just hope that people give Starmer and Co time to make a difference instead of expecting vast improvement within a year.
